What type of roofing products are compatible with SIPs?
Roofs made of SIPs can accommodate almost all roofing products available in the housing market today. The OSB used to manufacture SIPs is the same product that is used for roof decking in stud framing, except that the board used for SIPs is a higher density board with more fiber content. Most roofing manufacturers specify how to attach their product to SIPs. Please contact the roofing manufacturer for the appropriate application instructions. One caution: a few asphalt shingle manufacturers will not warranty their shingles if they are applied over SIP panels, so verify warranty coverage prior to installation.
